Geneva Peak, looking toward Landslide Peak and the ridgeline I'll be going down.

Close-up of the little lake at the end of the Geneva Creek dirt road. Maybe you can find a way down from here toward the lake and follow the road back. I chose to follow the ridgeline instead.

Headed down the grassy ridgeline from Landslide Peak.

Looking back toward Landslide/Geneva, Santa Fe in the distance.




Entering the treeline.

The bushwhacking is minimal - the trees are fairly spread out, making this an easy off-trail descent.

Just happened to end up at a log bridge someone put here, leading to a campground on the side of the road.

Following the road back to the Shelf Lake Trailhead.
